Today I am doing an in-service using our Patterns of Interaction e-textbook. Here is a short example of one of my upcoming assignments on Islam and here is a longer one on the Punic Wars. As with everything, I use Google Drive to make it.
If you use the Patterns e-book, you might want to look at these resources a team I led two years ago put together. It includes a how to video (see above) as well as a scavenger hunt for students and some assignments.
